Punters can also grab the chance to see the first two episodes of The Tick

Tickets have now gone on sale for the exclusive screenings and sessions which will be running in the Scottish capital from August 23 to 25.

Red Dwarf fans will be treated to an exclusive screening of a new episode at the EICC as well as the chance to meet the stars of the show. But if that’s not your fancy, the festival will also be screening the first two episodes of Amazon Prime’s The Tick the following day.

Sessions cover everything from comedy to politics to sport – including a Black Mirror Masterclass with Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones, a chat with actress Vicky McClure and writer Jed Mercurio about hit drama Line of Duty and former Doctor Who writer Russell T Davies in discussion with Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson.
